A Boeing 737 of China Airlines got stuck on the runway at the Bangkok airport. The national airline of Taiwan was preparing to take off from Suvarnabhumi, Thailand to Kaohsiung (Taiwan). During the administrative launch, the main landing gear was pushed through the surface of the runway, and the passenger plane lost the ability to move. Evacuating the stuck passenger plane took about five hours, and the runway itself opened only the next day after the pavement was repaired - temporarily, as additional expertise was required to complete the restoration work. The strip did not pass the rain test. The Ministry of Transportation of Thailand said that according to preliminary findings of the investigation, the recent rains led to a sharp rise in the groundwater level, which eroded the base of the coating. The integrity of the structure was damaged under the weight of the passenger plane - by the way, not the heaviest narrow-body plane, despite the fact that the runway is designed for wide-body planes.
